SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No: 396,816, dated January 29, 1889. Application filed August 29, 1887'. Serial No. 248,126; (No model.)

To aZZ whomit may concern;

Be it known that I, FRANK HASKELL, of Westbrook, in the county of Cumberland and State of Main'ejaveinvented certain new and useful Improvementsin Machines for Spooling Yarn; and I do hereby declare that the following-is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, that will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had lo the accompanying drawings, forming a par! of this specification, in whichligurel is a perspective view of the ma-' chine; Fig. 2, a side elevation of part of the machine; Fig. 3, an end view of the same; Fig. i, a top plan of the rockeryFig; 5, a longitudinal section of a part of the machine,

showing in top plan the plate through which the drop-wires pass; Fig. (3, a cross-section through the lhu g; of Fig-:5 7-, a side My invention relates to spooling devices,

and its object is, particularly, to provide improved means for instantly stopping the'spooling device when a thread breaks or anysuch accident occurs. g

The machine shown in the drawmgs consists of a mechanism for rotating the spools,

' means for guiding the threads, and a stopers H H.

motion.

A A represent the frame of the machine. l pon one side of this frame, in suitable journals, is the shaft B, having at one end the fixed pulley E' and the loose pulley D, by the former of which and the belt F power is impartedto the machine. Upon the shaft B, at regular intervals, are fixed the pulleys or roll- Upon a part of the frame over the rollers H H are placed the bearings J J, on which are placed the spools I I. These bearings should be so constructed and located that the sides of the spools, whatever their size, may rest upon the rollers 11 II. The other end of the shaft B may be provided with the beveled gear a, which matches a beveled gear, 6, on the shaft (1, which extends across the end of the frame'A. The other end of the shaft (1 has the beveled gear 6, match extends along the opposite side of the frame A, and, like the shaft B, is provided with the rollers H H, surmounted with like provision for the spools I I. I

The device for guiding the threads consists ofthe drop-wires h h and the guide-wires-K K, with means for moving the latter to and fro. 'lhe guide-wires K K are fixed at regular intervals,'one being opposite each of the spools I I, in the rods Z Z, which, at one end of the machine, slide in suitable grooves, and at the other end are supported by and connected with the rods m "m, which are pivoted tothe lever 02.

The lever 22 is rigidly fixed upon the shaft 0, which is supported by the bearing 1, (see --Fig. 1,)a1rd at the lowerend'liasf rigidly fixed. thereto the lever 19. The lever p at the other end is pivotally connected to the rod q, the other end of which is pivotally connected to the lever 4, which is pivoted at one end to the frame A and at the other end terminates in the segmental gear '2', which matches the gear s on the shaft 5. The shaft 5 also carries the gear 6; which is providedwith gears s and 8 upon its upper and lower surfaces, respectively. The gear. 6 is not a complete circle, but has an opening, in which, midway between the sides of this opening, is an arm, projectcd'from the center ofthe gear. Fig. 10.) 'lo-the end of this projecting arm is rigidly attached the piece 15, which is of the shape shown Fig. 12, the concaved sides of the piece 15 being respectively equally distantfrom the side of the opening in the gear which is nearest it. The front of the piece 15 should be concentric with the center of the gear and an arcof the same circle as the rim of the gear, the spaces between the curved side of the piece 15 and the edge of the opening in the gear being but slightly larger than the-shaft u. .The gears s and s3 alternately match the pinion t on the shaft u, which is so journaled as to admit of vertical mot-ion to the extent of the thickness of the gear 6. At the other end the shaft 11. is provided with the pulley 1', which by belt w is connected with a pulley or groove, 8, on the shaft 0. i

The parts or mechanism of the stop-motion i may be described as follows: The drop-wires ing the beveled gear f on the shaft 0, which (See h it should be equal in number to the spools I I. They are preferably of the shape shown in Fig. 7 and slide in slots in the plates 11 i,

T short arms slide.

the plate '5 having one circular opening, through which the longer arm of thewire slides, and the lower plate, 1", two circularholes or slots, through which both the long and I prefer that they should be arranged at regular intervals and in the order shown in Fig. 5. on suitable standards on the frame A in preferably a central position between the spools I I. Beneath the plate t" is a plate, 1?, having a continuous opening, 9, through which the drop-wires may pass when the ring rests upon the plate 1. Beneath the plate i is hung the rocker a. It is in general outline of a figure similar to the outline formed by the holes or slots through which the drop-wires h h play in the plate i, but slightly smaller, and should be so placed as to be equidistant-from the sides of the opening 9.

The upper part of the rocker consists of a frame, which, as has been stated, is similar in figure to the outline of the drop-wire slots. This frame is supported by arms which at their lower ends are fixed to a shaft, 2 which is joi rna-led at either end in proper bearings. Above this shaft and fixed to it is a short rod. Upon this rod 2 is placed the rod 1), provided with a semicircular bend,'which re ceives the rod 5 when in its ordinary position under the rod 1 towhichis rigidly connected the rodfd', (passing through the guide-10,) which is in turn pivotaliy connected to the rod 2', whichis pivoted eccentrically to the gear f, which is supported upon a shaft,-2", at the end of the frame. (See Fig. 9.) The gear f matches the pinion h on the shaft (1.

Directly over the rod (1 is-the rod pass ing nearly at right angles to the former and pivoted at about midway ofits length to the frame of the machine. the piece 1', having the catch m. The inner end of the rod is is connected by means of the extensible adjustable link 3" to the lever n, which is in turn pivoted to the side of the standard Land terminates above on the friction-pad -o. pivotally connected to the rod 1), which (being held in supporting-guides attached to the frame) is pivotally connected to the lever q at the end of the frame. The lever q at the other end is pivotal] y connected to thc'ro'd =1", which passes through a guide, 1.. 'The lever q is itself pivoted at about'midway of'its length upon. a support on the frame. Between the. guide 1 and the stop 2, which is fixed to the rod, is the coil-spring 3. (See Fig.- 9.) Over the platest' 'i, and on either side of the same, are placed standards L L, 'having at equal heights the brackets N N,

with slot S.

The operation of the machine in spooling is similar to that of other like machiues.- The beam containing the chain is placed upon the brackets, and tension, if desired, obtained by The plates i i are placed- Under the rod is is The outer end of the rod k is the use of the lever 12, with weight 14. The ends of the yarns are unwound for a short distance and carried downward through the rings of the drop-wires h 11 those destined for the spools on one side being separated from the others by the roller 11. After being carried through the rings the respective yarns are passed tlnrough the guide-wires and the ends twisted or wound upon the spools by hand. The lever is being placed in the catch on, the belt F is shipped from the loose pulley D to the fixed pulley E, and the machine started. The action of the device for guiding the threads evenly upon the spools is readily seen. the shaft 'u causes, through the mechanism shown in Fig. 10, the alternate motion of the rods 1 l, which carry the guide-wires. If a yarn breaks or a spool ceases to rotate, the tension of the thread is slackened and permits the dropuvire 72, through which the thread passes, to fall until the ring rests upon the plate 2', the lower end being thus carried to a point below the upper surface of the rocker a, the further movement of which is thus prevented. The stopping of the rocker so etfected causes the bent part of the rod b to be forced from its position on the rocker and the straight part-0t the rod to be carried over the rocker, thus lifting the rod against the rod 1:, which is laterally thrown from the catch 'm',

Power transmitted by the belt 10 to allowing the spring 3, to act on the rod 1", i

which moves thelever g on" its pivot and thus slides the rod 1; longitudinally-a movement of the rod 1" which carries the belt F from the pulley to the loose pulley. The machine is thus immediately stopped until the yarn is tied or other change made. The movement of the lever k forces the friction pad 0' against the side of the beam and stops its revolution at the same instantthat the machine is-stopped.

The construction of the machine in relation to the lovers 1), q, and I" may of course be varied. The shipper may be attached to the rod 1.) and the spring applied to it, the pul leys D and E being placed on the shaft 0 in slotted plates -i and i, plate 1", having the. opening, as described, the rocker a-',leve1s b and d, and guide 10, rod e, gears f and h, catch in, lever in, rod 11', lever q, rod 1'', spring 3, and shipper-guide s, substantially as described.

.In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereuntoset my hand this 26th day of August, 1887.
